We have just a few more parades
and events before we are done for the summer. For all of these
events, band students please wear your summer uniforms. Parents who
are attending please wear your Band Parent shirts. And everyone come
prepared for the heat. Below is the info about each of the events.
Days of ’47 Youth Parade Sat
July 19
We will be riding the bus to this
event. Call time is 6:30am at CHHS. Volunteers please meet at the
school at that time as well. We need more volunteers for this parade. The parade starts at 9:30am. This is a
televised event, so be sure to watch the parade on KUTV channel
2. Or if you prefer to attend in person, here is a link to
information about this event. http://www.daysof47.com/events/youth-parade/
Parade Preview and Lagoon Day
Mon July 21
This
event is a little different than the others. We march and play at the
South Towne Expo Center for the Days of ’47 Float Preview. The students
march inside the building where the floats are on display and then play pep
band music for a time too. Call time is at 8:30am at CHHS.
Volunteers meet at the school at that time as well. The Days of 47
preview party is a fun event that is free admission. It’s a nice way to
see the floats for the parade without standing in the sun downtown. Come
join the fun! For more information on the Float Preview Party, check out
this website link: http://www.daysof47.com/events/float-preview-party
Now for the info that I’m sure
all the students have been waiting for - Lagoon Day! Our band will go to
Lagoon immediately following our performance at the Expo Center on Monday, July
21. The bus will leave from the South Towne Expo Center and go
directly to Lagoon. If there are any students who cannot attend Lagoon,
they will need to arrange rides home from the Expo Center. We need
parents willing to ride the buses as chaperones and go to Lagoon.
Admission for students will be discounted, but we are still waiting to get the
discount tickets to know the price. We will announce that as soon as
we know.
Please bring a sack
lunch, $ for admission, swimsuit and towel (if planning on doing the
waterpark), etc. with you. The bus will leave Lagoon at closing time
10pm. Students can be picked up back at the school when the bus returns
around 11:30pm. Remember that Lagoon will not allow any purses or bags to
be taken on rides, so you’ll need to rent a locker or keep things in
pockets. Be prepared for the heat and come have fun! Lagoon’s website link: http://lagoonpark.com/
